Recension av Firefox-användare 15053446
Betygsatt 5 av 5
av Firefox-användare 15053446, för 6 år sedanHi Suraj, I am enjoying your add-on very much. I have installed (and later uninstalled) several Firefox dictionary add-ons because they did not have the information displayed in a way that was pleasing to me. You seem to have nailed it -- great job!
From the previous reviews I've read, it seems you are keen on obtaining suggestions from your users. I have a few helpful ones for you to take under advisement:
1.) directly beneath the first line where you have the word's syllables, please add the phonetic spelling of the word as well. Furthermore, the screenshots you've provided seem to show a speaker icon which I assume is an audio pronunciation. This was going to be my next suggestion, but after seeing it already shown in your screen shots, I am now thinking that perhaps it is just a bug that needs to be worked out. For your diagnostics, I am running a custom stripped-down bare-bones version of Win10 Pro v.1809 which I obtained from TeamOS.
2.) I would like to be able to verify a definition as I am writing sometimes; however, it appears that the add-on does not allow the user to get a definition pop-up box from a word selected within a textbox element.
3.) many words have multiple meanings and contexts. I would like to see the definition section formatted a bit differently to reflect this fact & for clarity. Specifically, have the word's part of speech (noun, verb, adj, etc.) with it's own CSS style & color scheme indented on the first level, then on the next line & indentation level, show the definition for that particular part of speech. repeat this format for each of the possible parts of speech that any given word may have. This will allow users to ensure they use the word correctly and is a much more thorough implementation structure in my humble opinion.
4.) Finally on to my last suggestion. I would like to see a collapsible link for synonyms and example sentences listed for each word's definition on every possible part of speech variation. When the user clicks the link once, synonyms or example sentences will appear directly below the link. Click once again and they re-hide themselves. For an example see lexico.com, who have a very nice yet minimal & effective implementation of this feature.
I hope that this review proves helpful & gives you a good list of goodies to work on for future releases!
Best,
James

- Betygsatt 5 av 5av Firefox-användare 12363114, för 2 månader sedanNo record of the installation. Double Click on word opened a window. I never go a single definition to show. All say "No Definition"
Would have been a useful addin but its missing a couple of functional elements, one of which is definitions or any clue as to where it's searching. - Betygsatt 5 av 5av Hollytryx, för 2 månader sedan
- Betygsatt 5 av 5av BISWAJIT, för 2 månader sedanThis extension helps me in getting the exact word meaning by double clicking on the word without opening another tab and it is same as google dictionary thank you.

- Betygsatt 2 av 5av RiffRaffMama, för 4 månader sedanIt's good sometimes, but more often than not it can't find a definition, which doesn't make it a particularly comprehensive dictionary. And if a word is a plural or any kind of variation, it can't find it either, just the simple form of the word, and there's no way to get a definition by highlighting a word without the 's' or whatever on the end, because you have to double click, which naturally highlights the entire word.
There's just too many words it can't find. - Betygsatt 1 av 5av InnocuousOctopus, för 4 månader sedanNo longer functional. If this is fixed I will be revising my review to give the extention the 5 stars it deserves when it is functional.
For those struggling to find a replacement as I was:
Definer by Lumetrium:
- seems to fulfill the same purpose in a more aesthetically pleasing package. - Betygsatt 1 av 5av Unknown__, för 4 månader sedanHasn't been working for a while, keeps saying definition not found
